Celebrating craftsmanship, heritage and unrivalled whisky excellence
Royal Salute, the master of exceptionally aged Scotch whisky, presents the 62 Gun Salute collection, a trio of exceptional blends that stand as the ultimate expression of honour and celebration. Inspired by the grandeur of the 62 Gun Salute ceremony, one of the British Monarchy’s highest forms of ceremonial tribute, this prestigious collection embodies the pinnacle of Royal Salute’s craftsmanship, legacy and dedication to excellence.
Originally created in 1953 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, Royal Salute has upheld its deep connection to the British Monarchy for over 80 years. The 62 Gun Salute collection is a tribute to this regal legacy, offering whisky connoisseurs a sensory experience that mirrors the majesty and precision of its namesake tradition.
At the heart of this collection lies an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. Drawing on over 40 years of expertise, Royal Salute’s Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop, has meticulously hand-selected the finest long-matured malt and grain whiskies to create blends of unparalleled depth and balance. The collection features the highly awarded Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute Original Reserve, a masterpiece bursting in rich fruit, creamy vanilla, and warmth that presents an opulent and lingering finish. The American Oak Reserve explodes with ripe tropical fruit flavours, its vibrancy reflecting the intensity of the gun salute spectacle, while The Peated Reserve captures the subtle smokiness that drifts over the City of London at the conclusion of the salute. Each whisky in the collection offers a distinctive yet harmonious interpretation of the 62 Gun Salute ceremony, bringing to life the spectacle, intensity and tradition of this historic, honorary tribute.
As the pinnacle of Royal Salute’s permanent portfolio, the 62 Gun Salute collection represents a symbol of ultimate honour, prestige, and meticulous craftsmanship. This collection also marks a significant moment for Royal Salute in Southeast Asia, as Pernod Ricard continues to elevate luxury whisky appreciation in the region through exclusive activations and curated experiences that showcase Royal Salute’s legacy.
Sandy Hyslop shares: “As the crowning jewel in Royal Salute’s portfolio, the crafting process behind this collection was both lengthy and meticulous until I was absolutely confident we had blends representative of an authentic 62 Gun Salute ceremony. The collection’s flavour profile is beautifully complex and rounded, connecting all the senses to create a lasting taste experience that reflects the significance of the occasion.”
Every element of the 62 Gun Salute collection has been designed to bring equal parts of enchantment and wonder; from the piano lacquered boxes to the elegant decanters, each finished in hues reminiscent of precious stones. Inside the boxes, intricate sculptural designs evoke the movement and grandeur of the 62 Gun Salute ceremony, mirroring the precious blends housed within.
The Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute Original Reserve and The American Oak Reserve is available at the official Pernod Ricard Malaysia Shopee Store. The Peated Reserve is available as a global travel retail exclusive in duty-free airports.
